GelishMini Blooming Gel Design Nail Coat, Nail Art, Nail Accessories for Gel Nails, 0.3 ounce

I normally use the white blooming gel so when I got the clear one I was super excited to be able to try different colors on different bases and this blooming jail works great. It balloons in a very appropriate amount of time not too fast and not too slow and I love that you can layer up on this to give it a more dramatic effect. It dries under the UV light within 90 seconds and comes out perfect every time. No wrinkles no fish eyes and it is a perfect consistency.

The print on the bottle is so tiny that I couldn't read it without taking a picture and expanding it. This is a fun way to make a marble type effect on your gel nails. Basically, you put on your base coat & then two coats of color, curing each layer. Then you put this clear stuff on but don't cure it. this is like a thin, sort of thick watery consistency. You can then add a second color on top of this. Use a small brush or toothpick to add the second color & blend it to make a pattern. Then cure it. I'm a novice when it comes to nails and even I could do this. It would look tons better if someone with a steadier hand than I have did this. But, my pics give you an idea of what happens. This is easy to use once you've made the print big enough to read the instructions.

As other reviewers have mentioned, you don't need a lot to get it working. I took my time trying different things and wiped and re-wiped the nail. It's pretty forgiving. It was really easy to manipulate and not overly sticky. It didn't spread too fast and I was able to sharpen it up in places where I didn't want it to bloom. I'm using this on top of cured black gel polish. I didn't top coat this photo. This is a good blooming gel especially if you're new to these. Super easy to use.

Just doesn't work the way it's described. Love this brand and wanted this to work

This gel nail polish is really cool. Does take a little bit of practice to get it just how you want. It cures quickly under my standard lamp. Really fun polish to mix up your basic nails.
